We loved staying at this property! The quietness was lovely. The fridge was stocked for breakfast which was appreciated and the hot tub was wonderful after many days of hikes. The only small issue was trying to contact the property. I was not able to use my phone to call and the property does not respond to messages, but a wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend!

We had a very good stay. The accommodation was clean, had a good kitchen and a cozy bedroom. A nice neighbor dog came by in the evening and morning to be cuddled by us :D We also really enjoyed the hot tub with a view of the snowy landscape and horses (There were problems with filling it, but our host quickly solved it)
